Decoding disease–specific ageing mechanisms through pathway-level epigenetic clock: insights from multi-cohort validationResearch in context

Summary: Background: Ageing is a multifactorial process closely associated with increased risk of chronic diseases. While epigenetic clocks have advanced ageing research, most rely on isolated CpG sites, limiting biological interpretability. We developed PathwayAge, a biologically informed model th...
